I guess Mary M, Miss Mc. & Miss S. went out to Michaels to-night in King's auto. We had an awful rain & wind storm this evening. Uncle Jim, Grandma & Grandpa went to Topeka to-day and G & G came back to-night but Uncle Jim is working there. Irene asked me to come and stay all night with her to-night, but I couldn't.
These are transcriptions of my grandmother's journals and writings from different points in her life from her girlhood diaries in Kansas in the early 1900's to her later years.
